Here’s a simple and delicious Garlic Bread recipe—crispy on the outside, soft and buttery inside. 🥖🧄
🧄 Garlic Bread
Ingredients
- 1 French Baguette or Italian bread
- ½ cup Butter, softened
- 3–4 cloves Garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp Parsley, chopped
- Salt to taste
- Optional: ¼ cup Parmesan Cheese, grated
Instructions
1️⃣ Preheat Oven
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
2️⃣ Prepare the Garlic Butter
- In a bowl, mix softened butter, minced garlic, parsley, and salt.
- If using, stir in Parmesan cheese for extra flavor.
3️⃣ Slice the Bread
- Slice the baguette lengthwise or into 1-inch thick slices, depending on preference.
- Spread the garlic butter mixture evenly over the cut side of the bread.
4️⃣ Bake
- Place bread on a baking sheet, butter side up.
- Bake for 10–15 minutes, until the edges are golden and the butter is melted.
5️⃣ Optional Broil
- For extra crispiness, broil for 1–2 minutes, watching carefully to avoid burning.
6️⃣ Serve
- Slice and serve warm with pasta, soup, or salad.
✅ Tips
- Use room-temperature butter for easy spreading.
- For a richer flavor, add a pinch of Italian seasoning or crushed red pepper flakes.
- Garlic bread can also be frozen before baking; bake straight from frozen adding a few extra minutes.
